U S Chamber Defends Stance on Health Insurance Plan
The U S Chamber of Commerce contested the administration claim that compulsory health insurance is needed due to rising doctor bills. It argued 1947 spending on nonessentials shows Americans could cover physicians’ services and warned socialized medicine threatens welfare and liberties. It called health care for the needy a matter for public aid or private charity and noted physicians’ opposition and potential strain on doctors.
